Censorship is an important issue in a free society because censorship blocks information from the public while free societies pride themselves on freely flowing information. Censorship appears to be at odds with free societies because it prevents the dissemination of information and thus it is a hot-button issue.
Apartheid was a system used in the 1900s that isolated people according to race. The white minority ruled and the policy discriminated against non-white population groups such as Natives, African Americans, and Indians. This system effected South Africa greatly because it led to South Africa’s new constitution, which is founded on the values of the advancement of human rights and freedom.
